I saw that tweet yesterday and I started to tweet a negative reply, but then I stopped myself and thought 'naah, let him cling to his optimism' His last memory of him is clearly the goal for Wales in 2016 tho! Your a good man , poor lad he's in for a surprise

Steve Bould was an awful player for stoke until we played him in his proper position....the rest is history. Up until recently, I'd have said that Steve Bould at right back was probably the worst player I've ever seen in a Stoke shirt. The transformation when he was moved to centre half was crazy. Great player for us in that position. I think the other factor with Steve Bould was his loan move to Torquay.

Another paid off with the Collins money ? You’d have to think so. As disappointing as it is to have most of the money gained by selling NC just to clear the deadwood it needed doing and will hopefully put us in a better position with FFP

Jesus one lad was excitedly waiting to wake up and see “Vokes signs” 🤪 I suppose in a way I’d be excited to see that too 🤣

If Vokes stays now that the crowd is back you will be able to hear the collective groan for miles as the tannoy announces at the 70th minute that the substitute is...... Vokes

What tripe to just blatantly speculate over the clubs financial allocation of assets and money with zero ounce of knowledge on the matter and even before anything has even happened!

First: Vokes is not fat! Is Shaw at United fat too? They are solid built lads, but not fat at all! Is Vokes good in the air? Yes, he is very good in the air. If a team can get enough crosses into the box he will score a lot of goals. If Vokes is going to succeed he needs a lot of crosses into the box and he needs to play alongside a quick and mobile partner. I think Vokes can be a success at Wycome if he ends up there, but to buy him to play in a system with one striker on top is just ridiculous. I also think he has lost a lot of self confidence here, and maybe this was the reason for some of the big misses towards the end of last season, but still he got on the end of decent crosses. Not a bad player if you play to his strengths, but he is not very mobile and certainly not fast.

I somehow doubt wimmer will be getting the same money he was at stoke and would want that difference making up, nor badou or Bauer, and I doubt Wycombe will be up for paying vokes the money he’s on at the min Just common sense really

An assumption? reasonable assumption surely? whatever money he is on here (£20k p/week?) no way Wycombe would pay even half that (& probably £5k tops for them?) OK the player maybe taking some kind of git but it's unlikely he's taking all that hit we want him out of the door some money (which will be coming from Collins deal) will be forthcoming form Stoke to ease the deal assumptions yes but imho it's along those lines

The Collins money won't be paid in one lump sum. transfers very rarely are. We will take a hit on him but save money in the long run. Same with plenty of others. A good deal for both clubs if it happens.

I'd say even fat Sam would be an improvement on Akinfenwa. He should do fine at that level if they play to his strengths.

I don't give a shit about his previous 400 games I'm judging him on his time spent with us where in the main he's been absolutely shocking n I don't mean just his performances...he's looked fat n disinterested the sooner he's gone the better, absolute embarrassment.

He’s had a decent career in the football league. Ok he didn’t do too well in the Championship last season but the bloke is 39. If Vokes is half as good as Akinfenwa was he'll have done ok imo.

That's about as clear a sign as can be made as to where he will be going next! Good luck to him. He looked finished last season and we paid far too much for him, but I never felt like he wasn't bothered about the game.
